Fischer students celebrate history at one-room schoolhouse

By Dan McLeister For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — In an unusual move Kevin York (4th Ward) made a motion to keep on the September 21st agenda discussion of electronic signs in residential neighborhoods. Scott Levin (5th Ward), the chairman of the Development, Planning and Zoning (DPZ) Committee, wanted the item taken back to the DPZ Committee again after the issue had been taken off the City Council agenda two weeks ago. At the September 21st meeting Levin said he needed more time to talk to neighbors about electronic signs which are “a bit contentious” for some neighbors which have expressed “a great deal of concern.” “With all due respect to the chairman, this item has been in various parts of City government for well over three years,” said York, who is a Board member of Lutheran Redeemer Church. “There has been plenty of time to

reach conclusions. The Church asked in August of 2012 for an electronic sign, which City Attorney Don Storino rejected.” “I had an inkling that this might happen,” Mayor Steve Morley said. Morley asked Storino at that meeting if York’s motion was in order. Storino assured it was. Levin commented that he “was kind of surprised” about York’s motion. “I have a question about a conflict of interest for Alderman York since he is on the board of Lutheran Redeemer Church,” he said. “It is a sad day to me since no justification has been made for keeping the item on the agenda. It is highly unusual.” York said there was no conflict of interest since Redeemer had withdrawn its request for an electronic sign. The alderman said the City’s regulations could have an effect on other churches. “I want to make it clear that it is not about Redeemer,” he said, adding that any application for an electronic sign would come under conditional use regulations of the proposed guidelines. Storino also ruled that York did not have a conflict of interest. Marti Deuter (1st Ward) said she was against York’s motion because Elmhurst city

government “relies heavily on committees, where there is a vetting of all opinions with spirited debate. The alderman said she heard loud and clear that people do not want more

electronic signs. Chris Healy (5th Ward) said he supported York’s motion because “this is not about Redeemer.” Noel Talluto (4th Ward) said

Chamber Ambassadors welcome new cake bakery

t’s bright and clean and it smells like cake! It doesn’t get much better than a trip to Nothing Bundt Cakes, the newest addition to the strip at Rte. 83 and St. Charles Road that was formerly a Pier One store. Owners Todd and Ashley Davies and the rest of the staff were happy to have the Ambassadors of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry drop by on Friday, September 25, for a ribbon-cutting and, well, a cake-cutting as well. Samples were available in the small but aptly decorated bakery, which offers a variety of bundt cakes made fresh on premises every day. Nothing Bundt Cakes is a franchise and the Davies are franchise holders of the stores in Wheaton, LaGrange, Elmhurst and, by the end of 2016, Schaumburg. “Then we’re done,” Davies said. “We really wanted to get into this market and we are just thrilled to be in Elmhurst. We’ve wanted to come here for a long time. But four stores is all we want to commit to at this time, we want to stay small and grow slowly.” Davies said he first talked to the City a few years ago about moving here when the Qdoba restaurant closed on the south side of St. Charles Road, across the street from the bakery’s current location. He had hoped to purchase that space, but apparently things dragged out with Qdoba for such a long time, Todd decided to move on. One thing he emphasized was how easy it was to get along with the City of Elmhurst, the permit process, etc., was “very easy and pleasant, the people are so nice.”  “In Chicago, you can’t do anything without a lawyer,” Davies said. “The people [here in Elmhurst] are so pleasant and they are so willing to work with you.” The story of Nothing Bundt Cakes reveals that founders Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz were best friends who often baked for their husbands’ corporate meetings. The baked goods were so popular, the two began to sell their product and turned it into a full-time business, eventually into a situation which would allow franchises. They saw a gap in the world for ready-made that didn’t compromise on fresh ingredients, like fresh eggs, real butter, and real cream cheese. Nothing Bundt Cakes is located at 355 So. Route 83 at St. Charles Road in Elmhurst. The store can be reached by calling 630-225-8300 or

NuCrepes seeks change to sign ordinance Restaurant off the beaten path seeks help; many sign petition By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

Nothing Bundt Cakes is a new business that recently opened at St. Charles & Rte. 83 in the former Pier One building. Pictured here, an employee helps a customer purchase a cake during the store’s official grand opening on Friday, Sept. 25. If you have not been there, it is worth a stop – it’s a beautiful store and it smells like cake!

ELMHURST — The owner of Nu Crepes restaurant in downtown Elmhurst has loyal customers who are helping his cause as much as they can. Niall Martin’s cause is to provide appropriate signage on York Rd. to direct street traffic to the restaurant, located at 115 West Schiller Court (not Street), in the crosswalk by York Theater that connects York to Addison Ave. A reasonable request it would seem. Martin has reportedly contacted City officials several times but has seen little results. The “sandwich board” signs on the sidewalk came up as an issue when area residents stood in solidarity with the “Hot Dog Lady,” a street vendor who was asked to move her location from that crosswalk across the

street to the plaza by the fountain. She was asked to move for the safety of herself and her customers while the City built the Addison parking deck. While the argument at that time was whether or not she should have to relocate, it quickly turned into an issue about signs in downtown, especially free-standing signs placed on the sidewalk. One morning, City employees came to work to find the main entrance off the parking lot of City Hall blocked by a pile of just such signs. Last week, Martin created a directional sign of his own with a large arrow pointing to the entrance, prompting customers to sign it as a petition to advise the City they were standing with him in his fight. Martin recognizes that the parking deck will help his business once it is up, but it may not without a sign.  The Development, Planning & Zoning Committee was to discuss signage in downtown at its Monday, September 28 meeting. As of press time, the outcome of that meeting was unavailable.

School Board approves floodwater detention for Madison Collins: Hundreds of hours of discussion took place over period of a year By Dan McLeister For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — After many “exhaustive conversations,” the School Board for District 205 has reached consensus to approve the intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the City of Elmhurst for floodwater detention on the Madison School site, Superintendent Dave Moyer announced at a September 22nd meeting. The next step is for the City Council to vote on the agreement.

“It has been a process that has taken quite a while, hundreds of hours over [a period of a] year,” Board President Jim Collins said. He thanked Vice President Shannon Ebner and John McDonough for the effort they put in to bring this agreement forward. “I believe that this agreement adequately addresses District 205’s obligations,” said Board member Chris Blum. Neither Blum nor any other School Board member mentioned the City’s proposal to use the gravel lot at Bryan Middle School for floodwater detention. “Now we can turn our attention back to where it belongs to education,” McDonough said. “We haven’t always agreed on the best approach,” noted Board member Emily Bastedo. “That is not why we ran for

Alleged abduction turns out to be hoax Suspects face felony theft charges following staged incident at Shell By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

ELMHURST — What started as a community stunned about the news of an abduction at a local gas station turned out to be a hoax plotted by two persons who hoped to get away with a robbery. On Tuesday, September 22, the Independent received a communiqué time stamped at 7:39 a.m. from Elmhurst Police Chief Michael Ruth, stating that an investigation was underway regarding a possible overnight robbery at the Shell gas station located at 654 W. North Avenue in Elmhurst at about 5 a.m. that morning. Police were summoned to check on the well-being of a clerk, who was not at the gas station when she should have been. Upon arrival, police were unable to locate the employee but they were able to obtain the surveillance video to determine what happened. Later that same day, another memo came from the police department time stamped 3:20 p.m., submitted by Deputy Chief James Kveton stating that police were concerned for the wellbeing of Simone Boyd, 21, whom had still not been located. The following morning at about 6 a.m., Chief

We want to help them and be part of the solution.” McDonough noted that there were public forums (the Mayor’s Storm Water Communications Committee with representatives from the City and the Park District as well as District 205) and “other more effective meetings with attorneys present.” He explained that the agreement states, “The City will bear all costs, all liabilities and all risks including the risk of the 630-834-8244 questpublishing@sbcglobal.net School Board determining to restore the property to its edu-

BRANDON MORRIS

Ruth issued another release saying Boyd and an accomplice had been located and arrested at about 5 a.m. The release said that in the early morning hours of September 22, Boyd had been working overnight at the Shell station when her boyfriend Brandon Morris staged what appeared to be a robbery, which could be seen on store video, according to Ruth. Morris jumped over the counter to remove money from the register, then he and Boyd were seen leaving the store together on the surveillance video, which led police to believe the incident was not only a robbery but also an abduction. Both subjects were later located in Cook County, where all the stolen proceeds were recovered. Simone Boyd, 21, of Lombard, and Brandon Morris, 21, of Melrose Park, stand accused of staging a robbery and abduction. Both were charged with Felony Theft and taken to DuPage County Jail. Late Friday, the Independent learned that bond had been set at $10,000.

cational purpose. Most importantly is that any unsafe condition is addressed immediately and completely.” McDonough said that the City said final design would be completed in three to six months and the project will be built in another three to six months after that. “I want to reiterate that the School District owns the property, so we did not compromise or hamper this Board and future boards to make use of that land,” Ebner commented. Blum said he heard from members of the public asking the School Board to make “a fair deal to protect the kids.” He also heard from people asking the School Board to stop the City’s plans. A couple of people wanted a referendum on the ballot so the community could express their views. “I recognize there are two sides to this,” he said. He stated that is not the School Board’s job to evaluate the City plan, its costs or how much the City is going to raise property taxes to pay for storm water detention. “I would encourage anyone who has questions about these aspects to contact their alderman.” Client:

CHIROPRACTIC by Dr. Noelle O’Connor

ROOTING OUT PAIN When tennis and baseball players experience pain in their hands, arms, and shoulders, they might immediately suspect that the source of the pain can be found directly where it is experienced. However, when an injury occurs near the root of a nerve, it could result in pain at the end of the nerve, where sensation is felt. Such may be the case when an injury to the vertebrae or discs in the neck could result in pain, numbness, or weakness in the shoulder, arm, or hand. That is because the nerves that extend out from between the cervical vertebrae provide sensation and trigger movements in these areas. Fortunately, chiropractors are experienced in tracing the sources of nerve-related pain.

Nearly everyone experiences pain from time to time that generally resolves in a few days. However, sometimes the pain continues and you need to seek professional care. At YORK CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC, we will take the time to explain your diagnosis to you and develop a personalized healing plan. We are pleased to announce the addition of laser therapy treatments. We’re located at 486 Spring Road. Please call 630.834.8536 to schedule an appointment. Chiropractic works! “Enhancing the health of your family.”

P.S. Several conditions can exert pressure on the nerves of the neck, including a herniated cervical disc, spinal stenosis (narrowing of the space at the center of the vertebrae), and degenerative disc disease.

Police Beat

The Elmhurst Police Department recently reported the following arrests and citations. Readers are reminded that an arrest does not constitute a conviction, and that subjects are considered innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. Juveniles age 17-or-younger are not named.

Battery Sept. 17 Aggravated battery was reported at a hospital in the 100 block of E. Brush Hill at around 1:09 p.m. Police said a nurse went to check on a patient who wanted more medication and to see a doctor. The nurse told the patient he could not have more meds and that a doctor would be in to see him. The patient stated that he wanted to leave and tried to pull his I-V out. While the nurse was preventing him from doing so, the patient punched her with a closed fist in her left cheek.

A large ‘pursenality’

recent morning news show featured a segment on purses and what a handbag reveals about your personality. I watched with interest since less than 24 hours earlier my purse had saved me from grave bodily injury. But I’m getting ahead of myself. If purses reveal our personalities, I am a study in contrasts. I jockey between two bags. The first is minimalist: tiny, with enough room for a cell phone, small wallet and maybe a chapstick or pen – but not both. My other purse is maximalist. It contains everything needed for survival, and then some. In it I carry pepper spray and a mini stun gun because a girl can never be too careful. There’s a crank flashlight in

case of power outages, a small notebook for when a fabulous idea hits me, gum for garlic situations, a charging cord and outlet thingy for my phone, a blanket and umbrella in the event of inclement weather, bottled water for thirsty times, a brush, mirror and makeup for primping, Pepto Bismal tablets – just in case and chapstick and pen (plenty of room for both). Some people have a bag packed with items needed for survival in case of natural disaster or emergency. These

are called bug out bags. I don’t need a bug out bag; I have my purse. As I alluded earlier, last night my purse nearly saved my life. And it had nothing to do with the pepper spray or stun gun. My husband, oldest son and I were at a youth football game watching our youngest son. Rain threatened, so I packed not one but three umbrellas into my big bug out purse. I jammed them in next to the blanket and pepper spray and we were ready for the game – rain or shine or whatever else we might encounter. Prepared is my middle initial. The rain did come. And the lightning that accompanied it put a halt to the game. As we ran across the road to our parked car, my foot caught on an uneven bump in the pavement and I went down. Fast.

$100 bill for his bill of $2.73 and walked out of the restaurant with his change. Aug. 27-Sept. 17 A victim in the 700 block of N. York told police that he was contacted by his bank because of fraudulent transactions on his account that they are investigating. The victim stated there were six checks that were not authorized. The victim parked his unlocked truck at the above location for service work. He believes the suspect removed his checkbook at this time. An investigation is pending. Sept. 15 A complainant in the 100 block of Pine told police that she was contacted by her credit card company, which advised her of a suspicious purchase made with her card. The victim discovered that two unauthorized charges were made at a store in Schaumburg. The complainant mentioned that neither she nor her husband purchased anything from the store. Sept. 14 A victim in the 900 block of N. Virginia Lane told police that there has been fraudulent activity on her bank debit card and on another bank account. She believes an unknown suspect may have seen her PIN number while she was making a purchase at a liquor store.

Sept. 2 Attempted forgery was reported at a communications facility in the 200 block of Spangler at around 2:31 p.m. The facility’s manager told police that its check routing and account number was fraudulently used to create three separate checks. Their bank detected it and the business had no dollar loss on any of the forged checks.

Trespassing Sept. 19 Kathleen M. Martin, 60, of Oak Park, was arrested in the 100 block of N. Haven at around 7:57 a.m. An officer responded to a report of the suspect reportedly sleeping in the foyer. An officer located Martin, whom police said had been previously warned about sleeping in the hallway of the apartment building. She became irate and began yelling at the officers. She was arrested and charged with trespassing.

Warrant service Sept. 18 Jeffrey Ashby, 66, of Bensenville, was arrested at a store in the 600 block of N. York at around 2 p.m. Police said an officer responded to the store after it was learned that the suspect had a valid failure to appear warrant of out DuPage County (original charge: battery).

And hard. I didn’t even have time to see my life flash before my eyes. I didn’t even know I was falling until I was lying face down on the road with a car zooming toward me. My husband was quickly by my side, clearly concerned. I did what most people do after they’ve fallen in an embarrassing manner. I hopped up and tried to pretend it never happened. As I made my way to the car I assessed my injuries. Surprisingly, there were next to none. I had two minor scratches on my hands where they’d hit the pavement. Otherwise, I was intact and injury-free. I honestly couldn’t believe it. During the ride home, my husband described the accident. He’d observed the ugly tumble in its entirety and knew why I hadn’t done a complete

face plant. My purse – jampacked with three umbrellas and a blanket – hit the ground before me and cushioned my fall. Thank goodness for the threatening rain. Some say a purse, and its contents, reveals a lot about your personality. Sometimes it shows you to be a survivor, whether that entails pepper spray, gum or a good old blanket. Moral of the story? Never make fun of a girl with a big purse. She (and it) may save someone’s life some day. Either that, or offer you an umbrella.

Rotary Club launches ‘Stop Heroin in Elmhurst’ campaign ELMHURST — To combat what local officials claim is a growing heroin addiction problem in the community, the Elmhurst Rotary Club has launched a Stop Heroin in Elmhurst campaign. “Our club has committed $20,000 in seed money for organizations that will join us in the fight to stop the spread of this highly-addictive and destructive drug,” said Kevin Kost, committee chairman. “We are looking for innovative ideas and solutions to solve this heinous problem. Cash grants will be offered to organizations on the front line of fighting heroin usage in Elmhurst.” A grant process has been established to review applications from community organizations that are looking for ways to stop heroin use in the city. A committee will determine the amount of each grant and distribute the funds to the organizations. The impetus for this humanitarian initiative was the tragic deaths of two York High School students due to heroin overdoses. An Elmhurst Rotary Club committee hosted a roundtable discussion at Elmhurst College that included the DuPage County coroner and officials from the city, police and fire departments, local schools and

}We are looking for innovative ideas and solutions to solve this heinous problem. Cash grants will be offered to organizations on the front line of fighting heroin usage in Elmhurst.” — Kevin Kost, committee chairman community organizations and the hospital. These officials made it clear that a coordinated response from these organizations and the community at large was needed, and that a nongovernmental group like Rotary could be the contact point in the city. For more information about Stop Heroin in Elmhurst or for a grant application, Kost can be reached at 630-530-2301 or via email kevin. kost@edwardjones.com.

Park Board News

ELMHURST — The Elmhurst Park District Board held a regular meeting on Sept. 23 at the district’s administrative office at 375 W. First Street. All seven park board commissioners participated in the meeting. Commissioner Doug Ennis took part in the meeting via telephone. The entire meeting lasted about three hours.

More stormwater discussion • The meeting included a discussion of the park district’s ongoing negotiations with the City of Elmhurst regarding its plans to construct storm water detention facilities at park district sites, including York Commons and Golden Meadows. The park district and the city are trying to agree on terms of an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) regarding construction of the detention facilities. Representatives from the park district and the city met on Sept. 10 during a meeting of the storm water subcommittee, which features representatives from the city, park district and Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205. The park district’s representatives on the committee are Commissioner Kevin Graf, Commissioner Vince Spaeth and Elmhurst Park District Executive Director Jim Rogers. Speaking at the Sept. 23th park board meeting, Rogers noted that the Sept. 10 meeting with representatives from the city was more contentious than previous meetings. Rog-

ers said the city remains firm in its desire to include five park district sites in the IGA. Those sites include York Commons, Golden Meadows, Wild Meadows Trace, East End Park and Crestview Park. Commissioner Graf also described the Sept. 10 meeting with the City as “contentious.” Graf noted that the park district has allowed the City to build a storm water detention basin at York Commons, as well as detention basins at Golden Meadows and Wild Meadows Trace. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has input regarding construction of basins at those park district sites and considers plans on a case-by-case basis. Graf said the park district wanted to get shovels in the ground on the projects to construct storm water detention basins at the sites that had been approved by the park district, including York Commons. Rogers stated that the park district is not against storm water facilities at Crestview Park and East End Park, but the district has not fully researched and vetted the proposals for detention facilities at those two locations. Rogers said that he was not comfortable asking the park district board to allow a detention basin at Crestview Park when the district did not yet have enough information. Rogers noted that the park district had insisted that an agreement with the city regarding storm water detention would include an extension of the park district’s use of the city’s maintenance facility. He stated that the city is insisting that an agreement between the two entities include the park district allowing basins at all five sites (York Commons, Golden Meadows, Wild Meadows Trace, East End Park and Crestview Park).

Park staff gave a presentation about the proposed Playground for Everyone at Butterfield Park and the master plan for the proposed 2016 renovation of the park. Since 2015, park district staff has been researching and developing a proposal to make the new playground at the park a fully-accessible, barrier-free playground that surpasses accessibility standards required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The estimated cost of the proposed

Residents say neighbor communities use EPD b-ball courts Five Elmhurst residents who live near Butterfield Park expressed concern about a basketball court attracting people from outside the Elmhurst Park District. They also asked if there was really a need or desire for a basketball court at the park. Another resident expressed concern about poten-

tial noise at night if there was a full-sized basketball court in the park. Angela Ferrentino, who is the district’s director of parks and facilities, addressed residents’ concerns, noting that Butterfield Park was the district’s third largest facility behind Berens and Eldridge, and that the basketball courts located at the seven parks throughout the community have not experienced challenges with vandalism or crime. Rogers stated that Butterfield Park should have a full-court basketball court. He also noted that one reason there is very little vandalism and graffiti at Elmhurst Park District facilities is because the parks are so active. He added that Butterfield Park has a 10 p.m. curfew, and that he did not anticipate any problems with the addition of the court. When commissioners asked about moving the location of the proposed court, placing it further from residences, Rogers said he would ask the project’s architects. The proposed new playground and other improvements at the park are scheduled to begin in early July of 2016 and be completed a few months later, by the end of October. The proposed projects will be included in the proposed fiscal year 2016 capital plan, which is scheduled to be presented to the board at its meeting on Nov. 4, 2015. The park district board will hold its next regular meeting on Oct. 14.

Playground for Everyone moving forward

playground is $600,000. In addition to replacing the playground at Butterfield Park, the district’s 2016 long range capital plan for the park includes the upgrading of drainage, as well as addressing the facility’s walking paths, tennis courts and various ADA improvements. The estimated cost of the proposed master plan for the park, not including the Playground for Everyone, is approximately $1.6 million. Based on feedback collected from residents, the plan to upgrade Butterfield Park also includes the installation of a full-court basketball court near the park’s renovated tennis courts. On Sept. 3, staff presented the conceptual plans for improving Butterfield Park to 22 residents who attended a meeting. Some of the residents at that meeting stated they were against the addition of a full-court basketball court.

Commissioner Spaeth agreed with Graf that the park district is ready to put shovels in the ground to begin construction of a storm water basin at York Commons, adding that the park district’s final proposal to place a basin at the site was radically different from the terms of the city’s original proposal. Spaeth said the park district will continue to vet out the possibility of detention facilities at Crestview Park and East End Park. “There is really absolutely nothing standing in the way of getting York Commons going,” said Board president Carolyn Ubriaco, echoing the sentiments of Graf and Spaeth. “There is absolutely no reason that we can’t put a shovel in that ground and get that pilot detention area working for the people it is intended to help. That’s a real shame.”

Churchville One-room Schoolhouse holds Fall Open House By Dee Longfellow For The Elmhurst Independent

or the first time in three years, it was finally a bright sunny fall day for the Churchville One-room Schoolhouse Fall Open House held on Saturday, September 26. Students, families and history buffs of all ages turned out to experience life as it was at a one-room schoolhouse in the early 1900s. Young people from Conrad Fischer School in Elmhurst dressed in authentic 1910 garb and performed music true to the period. They were given a chance to attend a “real” class offered inside the schoolhouse, led by a properly-dressed school marm from years gone by. The children even followed 1910 schoolroom rules, such as standing by your desk to address the teacher. (Think Leave It To Beaver – “Yes, Miss Landers.”) The rest of the day featured cookies and lemonade, an “OldTyme” popcorn wagon, games and crafts from the period and the children’s musical performances. The City’s vintage fire truck was on display as well. Also at the event were representatives from the Churchville Cemetery Association, which offered a chance to learn more about early DuPage County residents who are buried in the cemetery adjacent to the This shot was taken just outside the Churchville One-Room Schoolhouse, operated by the Elmhurst Historical Museum schoolhouse.

And You Are…Bob McKeague Winner of 90+ Age Group, World Triathlon Grand Final By Jean Lawrence For The Elmhurst Independent

triathlon is a multi-sport athletic endeavor that only a small percentage of the population ever undertakes, regardless of their age. Yet at age 90 ½, Bob McKeague of Villa Park, who is active in the Elmhurst community, competed in the International Triathlon Union’s World Championships on Sept. 17 and placed first in the 90+ year old age group. The event was held in Chicago’s Grant Park and included a half-mile swim in Lake Michigan opposite Buckingham Fountain, followed by a 15-mile bike ride and 3-mile run, both on Columbus Drive. Those distances are considered a “sprint” triathlon, while “Olympic” or “international” triathlons are about double that distance. Bob typically finishes a sprint-distance triathlon in about two hours but in this case, took about two hours and

20 minutes due to long transition zones, which were somewhat offset by a speedy bike pace of about 19 miles per hour. He was one of 6,500 of the world’s best triatheletes to compete for world titles over four days of competition. He estimates he has completed about 140 triathlons in the past 30 years, including a World Championship Ironman ten years ago in Hawaii that spanned a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, and 26.2-mile run. He came in first place in the 80+ age group for his Ironman. His wife Marianne accompanied him on the trip to Hawaii and attends many of his local races. “I did my first triathlon in 1984 and I do about four each year, sometimes more,” he said. “I’ve done International Triathlon Union World Championships twice in Cancun and once in Canada and also nationals in the US. In the last ten years I’ve done more local races in places like Bloomington and Valparaiso and I find that the local races are more fun. I know a lot of people and it’s like old home week.” Before getting interested in triathlons, Bob played golf, swam at pools or lakes on family vacations, and snow-skied.

“I never did anything very organized,” he said. “But when I was 57 years old, I started looking for something to carry me into my retirement years. I saw a 10K race go past our house in Villa Park and that started me off. I did a marathon or two in Chicago and got tired of just running so I started triathlons when I was 62.” Preferring to work out in groups, Bob has never had a coach. Currently a member of the Elmhurst Bike Club, the Elmhurst Running Club and the Elmhurst Multi-Sport Club, he likes to bike and run on the Prairie Path. He is also a member of the Elmhurst YMCA, where he enjoys swimming in the pool and biking and running on treadmills. Bob’s favorite aspects of the triathlon have changed over the years. “I used to like running the most when I felt like I could run like a gazelle,” he said. “But now I like the bike portion the best. You can pedal and then coast a little.” Any advice to those who aspire to be as fit as he is at age 90? “Do what you can do, and keep on doing it! The only reason I can keep doing this is that I have good genes and

I just never stopped. Not everyone is as fortunate to have good knees and hips and overall health. I enjoy the sense of camaraderie and I have a sense of competition. My love of competition drives me to do as well as I can.”

The expansion of services beginning this month includes pediatric gastroenterology, pulmonary and rheumatology, with plans to add subspecialties such as sport medicine, cardiology, hematology/oncology, neurology and sleep medicine this fall.

Local legislators support PANDAS Dash Going the Distance for Families on Oct. 4

Racer Patrick featured on hospital’s web site

courtesy photo

Pictured is race car driver Danica Patrick, who will serve through early 2016 as the “Healthy Driven” spokesperson for Edward-Elmhurst Healthcare. She is prominently featured on several pages of its new web site at EEHealth.org and plans to be a guest blogger as well.

VILLA PARK — On Sunday, October 4, there will be a 5K and Fun Run at Willowbrook High School, 1250 S Ardmore Ave. for PANDAS/ PANS advocacy and support. Special guests scheduled to attend include State Senator Tom Cullerton and State Representative Deb Conroy. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. and the race steps off at 1 p.m. The event will include children’s activities, such as a 100-yard dash. Common childhood illnesses such as strep throat or mononucleosis can produce Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders in one to two percent of all children. The race will serve to support children and families seeking out appropriate diagnosis and treatment. PANDAS and

PANS are disorders that, more often than not, go undetected, unreported or can be easily missed for years in many afflicted children. You may register for the race in several ways. Pre-register online for $25 until Oct. 3, 2015 at active.com/villa-parkil/running/distance-runningraces/the-pandas-dash-5k-going-the-distance-for-familieswith-pandas-pans-2015. You can also register in-person at Fleet Feet locations in Elmhurst, Lakeview, Lincoln Square, Oak Park, Old Town, or South Loop. Registration on the day of the event is $30 per person and begins at 11:30 a.m. Registration fees are nonrefundable. Make checks payable to: PANDAS/PANS Advocacy and Support, c/o Wendy Nawara 212 Tupelo Ave. Naperville, 60540. Proceeds will go to benefit families struggling with PANDAS/ PANS.

Race winners will be recognized in over 15 categories and awards will be given to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd female and male runners, as well as the top 14 and under year old male and female runners. All race participants will receive a t- shirt. The event is made possible through the generous donations of Fleet Feet Sports, FGMK Insurance, Safeguard, Senator Cullerton, Representative Conroy, BioRx, Momentum Management, Olympia Chiropractic, Schamberger Brothers Inc., Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, SmartyPants Vitamins, Qwackers Crackers, Arizona Iced Tea, Patriot Boxing, Ink 180, Baird and Warner Real Estate, Liedtke Orthodontics, Kingdom Construction Services, Splash Dog Canine Hydrotherapy and Wellness, GeeSchussler Insurance, Synergy Healthcare For more information, contact Kristen Recchia at 630999-1978 or kristen@pas.care.

College to dedicate Monarch waystation Oct. 8 Specially-planted garden helps sustain butterflies thru winter migration ELMHURST — Elmhurst College will officially dedicate one of its gardens a Monarch Waystation during a short ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 12 noon. The Bluejay Butterfly Oasis, located between Dinkmeyer Hall and Hammerschmidt Memorial Chapel has been a butterfly garden for some time. But the conservation and education group Monarch Watch recently designated the gar-

den a Monarch Waystation, a place that provides the food and habitat necessary for monarch butterflies to produce successive generations and sustain their annual migration from the U.S. and Canada to Mexico, where they spend the winter months. During the dedication, Elmhurst College alumna Sandy Fejt (Class of 2003), education site manager at the Willowbrook Wildlife Center in Glen Ellyn, will talk about monarchs and the need for waystations and other resources to help them survive. Light refreshments will be served, and attendees will be given seeds to plant in their own gardens to attract

monarchs. The event is free open to the public, and all are welcome to attend. More about the Butterfly Oasis The Butterfly Oasis offers up a banquet of flowers and plants especially suited for monarchs, including geraniums, goldenrod, sedge and milkweed. “(Monarchs) can home in on the plants they need, take a stop, and then keep flying on their route,” said Paul Hack, grounds and maintenance supervisor. Monarchs are important pollinators that contribute to the health of many plants, but their numbers have been in

decline since the 1990s because of an increase in both commercial development and herbicide use. Butterfly gardens have proliferated in response as a way to help stop the decline. “The Butterfly Oasis is providing a habitat, it’s providing a food source, and it’s providing a great source of pollination for other plants around it,” said biology major Michael Stuart (Class of 2016), who spent the summer working in the garden alongside Elmhurst College biology professor Paul Arriola. “The garden is beautiful, but what’s most important is what it does for monarch butterflies.”

Eleven years later, the Northwestern Mutual financial planning practice has grown to 33 financial representatives, associate financial representatives, college interns and staff in a 7,500 square foot office. The recent expansion, which coincides with Managing Director’s Tom Canale’s 20th anniversary, provides an opportunity to increase the number of clients served and the career opportunities offered. “We are excited to be growing and adding the next generation of financial representatives and staff to our team,” said

Canale, CFP®, CLU®, ChFC® and Managing Director. “As we grow, however, we focus on one ambition: to have a meaningful impact on our financial representatives and staff, our clients, and our communities that will create a legacy for future generations.” Canale started with the firm as an intern upon graduation from Marquette University in 1995. He built his practice by specializing in working with business owners, self-employed professionals, and individuals or families with special needs. In January 2000, he was appointed

Field Director to assist with the recruitment and development of new Financial Representatives. Just three years later in January 2003, Canale was appointed Managing Director expanding his responsibilities to include the identification of a location to have a local market presence. In 2004 he opened the Rosemont District office. Today the district has more than 4,900 policies in force which have a face value of more than $1.9 billion. Canale and his wife, Melanie, and their two sons call Elmhurst home.

IC Catholic Prep boys soccer team celebrates first-ever win Coach Andrade pleased with progress in program’s inaugural year By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The IC Catholic Prep boys soccer team experienced both ends of the spectrum recently. The Knights, in its first season as a boys soccer program, defeated Walther Christian 4-0 to record their first-ever win. IC Catholic Prep also dropped a 7-0 game to Wheaton St. Francis. IC Catholic Prep coach Javier Andrade viewed both games as positives despite the lopsided score in the second contest. “We lost to a very excellent team,” he said. “I love playing these teams. My team is only a month and a week old. We played tough but made some beginning mistakes. I thought we played well.” In the win over Walther, Hector Ramirez scored the first goal, while Jorge Garcia also had a goal. Francisco Monteon had the other two goals. Andrade said the team has been working hard to improve on a variety of skills. “We are

touching the ball and attacking through the outside with Alex Meurer sending the ball wide,” he said. “We’re opening the field up. We try and teach the kids the first touch you receive you go wide away from the players.” Overall, Andrade has watched his first-year program take major steps forward. “We’re still working hard,” he said. “We have improved from Day 1 to today. We have a 1-3-1 record for the varsity. We’ve played well. When you have a team where 95% of the players don’t have a lot of experience, what we’ve done in terms of improvement is excellent. We’re developing players here. The kids are excited and are having a lot of fun. They want to win all the games. I have to remind them we still are planting the seed. We will keep learning from our mistakes.” On defense, Andrade cited strong play from goalie Ben Johnson, along with defenders Josh and Jon Simmons and Peter Shuflit. “Our defense has improved,” said Andrade. The coach noted progress on the junior-varsity level also is occurring. “Guys on the JV are improving little by little and are

York gridders get back into the win column IC Catholic Prep downs Aurora Central under lights at Plunkett By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The York football team brushed off a two-game losing streak with a 24-7 West Suburban Conference crossover win at neighbor Willowbrook in Villa Park. The win moved the Dukes to

2-3 overall. Willowbrook fell to that same 2-3 mark. York had opened the conference portion of its schedule with losses to Glenbard West and Hinsdale Central. The Dukes return to action Friday at home at 7:30 p.m. against unbeaten OakPark-River Forest. The Huskies come into the game at 5-0. Oak Park-River Forest is one of three unbeaten teams in the WSC Silver Division along with Glenbard West and Hinsdale Central. Lyons Township was unbeaten going into Week 5 but lost to Glenbard West.

Week 6 Preview: York Oak Park-River Forest (5-0, 2-0) at York (2-3, 0-2) When: Friday, 7:30 p.m. Where: York High School, Elmhurst Last week: Oak Park-River Forest 44, Downers North 20; York 24, Willowbrook 7 Last year: Oak Park-River Forest 49, York 8 Outlook: A strong argument has to be made for the West Suburban Conference Silver Division being one of the toughest leagues in the state. Heading into Week 5, four teams, including Oak Park-River Forest, were 4-0. Heading into Week 6, that number of unbeatens at 5-0 stands at three (OPRF, Glenbard West and Hinsdale Central). York got back into the win column with a three-touchdown victory over neighbor Willowbrook that closed out its nonSilver Division slate this season. York encounters an Oak Park-River Forest team that has scored 35 or more points in four of its five wins and 40 or more points in its last three victories (those three wins have come against teams with a combined 3-12 record).

Week 6 Preview: IC Catholic Prep IC Catholic Prep (4-1, 1-0) at Riverside-Brookfield (5-0, 1-0) When: Friday, 7:15 p.m. Where: Riverside-Brookfield High School, Riverside Last week: IC Catholic Prep 41, ACC 7; R-B 31, Wheaton Academy 21 Last year: R-B 26, IC Catholic Prep 7 Outlook: A key game for both teams. The winner will stay in the catbird’s seat in the Metro Suburban Conference West Division race. Additionally, an IC Catholic Prep win makes it eligible for the playoffs, while R-B, already eligible with five wins, would clinch an automatic berth. The Knights will run into an R-B team fresh off a win against previously unbeaten Wheaton Academy (IC Catholic Prep’s Week 7 opponent). R-B has wins against two teams with winning records (3-2 St. Edward and 4-1 Wheaton Academy). It’s other victories have come against Morton (1-4), Wauconda (1-4) and Walther Christian (1-4). Looking at common opponents, R-B beat St. Edward 21-7 and Walther Christian 55-7. IC Catholic Prep beat St. Edward 41-6 and Walther Christian 51-6. IC Catholic Prep has scored 40 or more points in its last four games.

IC Catholic Prep football The IC Catholic Prep football team ran its record to 4-1 with a 41-7 Metro Suburban Conference West Division win over Aurora Central Catholic in the first official game under new permanent lights at Lewis Stadium at Plunkett Athletic Complex. The Knights (1-0 MSC West) did host St. Edward in Week 5 in a game that originally was supposed to be played in Elgin. But St. Ed’s field was deemed unplayable. In the win over ACC, IC Catholic Prep jumped out to a 21-0 lead after the first quarter and led 41-0 at halftime. Jordan Rowell ran seven times for 78 yards and scored two touchdowns. Leo Guzman had nine carries for 60 yards. Lazerick Eatman had three carries for 65 yards and a touchdown. Brendan O’Brien had five carries for 39 yards. Luke Ricobene completed seven of 11 passes for 104 yards and two touchdowns. Garrett Cheng caught two passes for 50 yards and a touchdown. Pat Jordan had two catches for 25 yards and a touchdown. Jose Rodriguez had one catch for 20 yards.

Continued from page 26 getting better,” he said. “They have a better understanding of the game. I told them they are my boat. We don’t want to rock the boat. We want to keep it smooth throughout the roster. Nobody is better than anybody else. We focus on everybody here.” Andrade was thrilled to see the reaction when the Knights beat Walther Christian. “The kids were going crazy and so were the parents,” he said. “It’s a big deal to get the first win. It’s even better because this is a great group of kids.”

Rob Malek and James Lytton each had 10 tackles on defense. Anthony Silva and Kemon Reese each had eight tackles. Lytton also recovered a fumble. Pat Guinan and Jim Kenneally each registered a quarterback sack. Jack Lamborn also recovered a fumble, while Matt Sutton and Guinan each had an interception. Sutton also scored a touchdown. On the season, Rowell is leading the team in rushing with 55 carries for 626 yards and 11 total touchdowns. Ricobene had thrown for 987 yards and 11 touchdowns. Jordan has 15 catches for 240 yards, while Luke Calles has 12 catches for 156 yards. Lytton is leading the team in tackles with 47. Kenneally leads in quarterback sacks with eight. Sutton and Guinan each have two interceptions, while Lytton and Kenneally each have two fumble recoveries. IC Catholic Prep returns to action Friday at 7:15 p.m. on the road against unbeaten Riverside-Brookfield (5-0).

IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball team navigating through tough stretch Knights looking to get back on track after 8-1 start By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — The IC Catholic Prep girls volleyball team recently hit one of those bumps in the road. After an 8-1 start, the Knights had lost four matches in a row through late last week and were 8-5 overall. “We hit a rough patch,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Nancy D’Amore. “We knew it would be a tough couple of weeks. The competition ramped up a little bit. We played St. Edward and we should have taken the match. We didn’t respond. Their big hitter was on and picked our defense part. We didn’t adjust and respond quick enough. We had beaten them earlier at the Timothy-Westmont tournament. We also played Rosary and they have a nice team. We competed pretty well with them but it didn’t go our way. “Glenbard South is a good program and we knew they would be one of the toughest teams in the conference this year. We didn’t have our best outing and didn’t take advantage of opportunities. If we were on in that match, that’s one we could have taken as well. Riverside-Brookfield was a lesson in focus because we didn’t have it.” Despite the losing streak, D’Amore is seeing progress from the team. “Our ball control always has been a stronger aspect of our game,” she said. “Passing and team defense are good. We’ve been struggling offensively with being able to terminate when we’re facing teams with big hitters. You don’t want to give them the opportunity to play the ball multiple times during a really. We’re making adjustments and doing different things in practice.” D’Amore is pleased the team has responded positively to the losing steak. “Riverside-Brookfield was a big wakeup call for us,” she said. “We’ll tear it apart a little and go back at it and fix some things. The girls know they are not playing to their potential and to me that is a good sign.” Offensively, Claudia Koch and Tess Reardon have been leading the way. “They take the bulk of the swings offensively and are on the court for six rotations,” said D’Amore. “We count on them both on offense and defense and Tess sets for us as well. They play a huge role.” Kerry Mulligan has been playing well on defense. “Kerry has settled into the libero spot and is doing well back there,” said D’Amore. IC Catholic Prep was slated to face Illiana Christian earlier this week in a Metron Suburban Conference crossover game and will host fellow MSC West Division member Fenton Thursday for youth night. “Hopefully we will get our feet back under us,” said D’Amore.

IC Catholic Prep golf team has productive week Larkin, Bosman lead Timothy Christian crosscountry teams at Kaneland By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — It was a clean sweep for the IC Catholic Prep golf team. The Knights scored three recent victories over Metro Suburban Conference teams. The week started with a 159163 win over Elgin St. Edward at The Highlands in Elgin. Trey Morris was team medalist with a 37. Connon Leahy and Jack Ricobene each shot 39, while John Hoffman added a 44. IC Catholic Prep then headed to Maple Meadows in Wood Dale and scored a 154-186 win over Fenton. Morris was the meet medalist with a 34. Hoff-

man shot 39, while Leahy shot 40 and Maddie Hurt finished with a 41. The Knights made it three wins for the week in as many tries after a 160-178 triumph over Aurora Central Catholic at Phillips Park in Aurora. Morris, Leahy, Michael Hoffman and Charlie Schoonveld shared co-medalist honors. Each shot a 40. “It was a solid week for the team in spite of some long bus rides,” IC Catholic Prep coach Don Sujack said. “Trey and Connon again set the pace, but we had two different players step up in each of the three matches to contribute scores. That depth has been the catalyst for our strong dual-meet record.” IC Catholic Prep improved to 10-2 in duals after the ACC win. Sujack also lauded the strong play of Morris. “From an individual stand-

point, Trey is on the verge of something special,” he said. “His under-par performance (Morris shot a 34) against Fenton has him on track to set a new school record for season scoring average (37.8) and he’s just scratching the surface of what he’s capable of achieving.” Sujack said the squad is looking forward to what lies ahead over the next several weeks. “With only three weeks left now begins the fun part of the season with conference, regionals, sectionals and state,” he said. “It’s why the kids worked hard during the off-season and they are quite anxious to get it going.” Timothy Christian cross country The Timothy Christian crosscountry teams competed in the recent Eddington invitational hosted by Kaneland in Elburn.

Better than ever

Timothy Christian senior cross-country runner Michael Larkin battles back from a serious injury By Mike Miazga

Correspondent

imothy Christian senior boys crosscountry runner Michael Larkin is in the midst of a productive season. Larkin won a race against Westmont earlier in the season, took fifth in a meet that featured all the teams in the Metro Suburban Conference East Division and recently was Timothy’s top finisher in a competitive field at the Kaneland Eddington invitational. “The coaches have been working with us on different running strategies and we’re doing harder workouts,” he said. “As a team we’re doing much better. The different strategy has helped us get better overall as a team.” For Larkin, being able to excel as a runner has extra meaning. Larkin has worked his way back from a serious head injury he sustained going into his eighth grade year. “I was at a summer camp playing a game with this huge inflatable ball and I got accidentally hit in the head with it. My head hit the ground and I was knocked out,” he explained. “I couldn’t go to school. I had constant headaches and dizziness and I couldn’t read or walk. I woke up in the hospital with the headaches and couldn’t see quite right.” And then eight months later Larkin’s fortunes took a dramatic turn for the better. “It was miraculous,” he said. “I was healed. I had to catch up with my schoolwork and then the following year is when I started running cross country.” Larkin sustained the injury in July and didn’t recover until February. “It was a rough time in my life,” he said. “They told me my brain was swollen but there was no cracked skull or neck. At first they said I might be

like that the rest of my life. That was scary to hear for me and my family. I had to use a walker to get around. I’ve had a lot of doctors’ visits. I’m fortunate. There are no long-term side effects and I don’t have any symptoms.” Larkin didn’t take up running until about six months after his recovery. “I didn’t start running until that following fall,” he said. “I’m very thankful to God for what he did for me. It was a miracle. The doctors weren’t quite sure what was wrong. I was trying a bunch of medicines and nothing was working. And then one day I was fine. It was like nothing had happened. It was like a dream. I stated walking normally. Every morning I would wake up with these headaches and not being able to walk right. It’s a huge relief that my life is back to normal.” Larkin also is a contributor to the Timothy boys track team in the 800, 1,600, 3,200 and 3,200 relay. In terms of the future, Larkin would like to attend Wheaton College where his two brothers and one sister have attended. “Hopefully I’ll be able to go there,” said Larkin. But in the immediate future Larkin would like to help the Timothy cross-country team achieve some success in the upcoming state series. “We’ve been working very hard and taking practice very seriously,” he said. “For a lot of us we know this might be our last chance to qualify for state. Our goal is to qualify for state as a team.” Looking back, Larkin learned one key lesson from his injury. “Life can change in a second,” he said. “You never know what will happen. God has a plan for me. It all works out in the end.”

The Timothy boys team placed 17th. Senior Michael Larkin finished 78th for the Trojans with a time of 18:17.4. Junior Matthew Fox was 91st with a time of 18:42.7. Sophomore William Terpstra was 105th with a time of 18:54.2. Junior Aidan Schervheim was 106th with a time of 18:57.4. Junior Andy Mittlestaedt was 113th with a time of 19:18.2. Sophomore Xavier Ross was 114th with a time of 19:18.9. Junior Tommy Troxel was 119th with a time of 19:24.6. The Timothy girls did not

have enough runners to qualify for a team score, but were led by senior Hannah Bosman who finished 33rd with a time of 21:15.7. Freshman Olivia Reamer was 78th with a time of 23:24.8. Nicole Terpstra was 86th with a time of 23:38.9 and Megan Middel was 89th with a time of 23:51.1. “We ran decently,” said Timothy coach Dick Zylstra. “It was a tough course and it was a little muddy. It was a good challenge. We’re still looking for a fifth girl to be able to run varsity.”

Timothy Christian girls tennis team off to 7-0 start No. 1 singles player Byrne wins first 10 matches By Mike Miazga Correspondent

ELMHURST — Winning hasn’t been a problem for the Timothy Christian girls tennis program in recent times. This year is no exception. The Trojans were off to a perfect 7-0 start through late last week, which includes a 2-0 beginning in Metro Suburban Conference East Division play. Timothy recently recorded a 4-1 MSC East win over longtime rival Illiana Christian. The Trojans also notched a 3-2 MSC crossover win against Glenbard South. And the Trojans won the Willowbrook invitational, scoring 31 of a possible 32 points in the event. At Willowbrook, Timothy singles standout McKenna Byrne downed Leyden’s Jessica Minkov 6-0, 6-1. Minkov was a 2014 state qualifier and had beaten Byrne last season. Byrne won the Willowbrook invitational for the fourth year and third time at No. 1 singles. Byrne is closing in on 100 wins for her career. Through late last week Byrne was 10-0 between No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles. Abygale Ahn was 6-1 splitting time between No. 1 doubles and No. 1 singles. Ellie Wiener sported a 10-2 record and was 7-0 in matches played at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles. Maddie Monat was 10-2 at No. 2 doubles, while Danielle Beard sported the same 10-2 record between No. 2 singles and No. 2 doubles. Toni Paterno was 9-3 at No. 1 doubles.

“We are beginning to get focused during matches and starting to do the little things that win tennis matches,” said Timothy coach Keith Mills. “We’re doing those things regardless of opponents. We’re getting first serves in, we have consistent groundstrokes and we’re moving to the net in doubles. Those are three areas where we are better than Week 1, but we still can improve.” Mills said the team also is progressing when it comes to doubles play positioning (“much improved,” he said.) and overall first-serve percentage. “Our first-serve percentage has been low, but it’s starting to get better in the last couple matches,” he noted. Mills cited recent strong play from Ahn and the likes of Kaleigh Bone and Sam Hopp. “Abygale, who also plays volleyball, played very well against Illiana and at the Willowbrook invite,” she said. “In the next week she will play more singles prior to sectionals. Kaleigh and Sam are showing a lot of improvement at third doubles. We’re hoping they can pick up some more wins in the next few weeks.” Overall singles play has been a key catalyst for the team. “Singles has been strong so far this year with only four losses in 23 matches played,” Mills said. Mills noted the team is in the midst of a stretch of eight matches in a nine-day time frame. “Overall, the rain has hampered our match play,” he said. “We have played up to our potential. With eight matches in nine days we will see where we are at when the dust settles.” Timothy had a key non-conference match against Fenwick scheduled for earlier this week. “Fenwick is a big test,” said Mills.

Five tips to get kids moving and healthy NAPERVILLE — Research continues to show how important physical activity is for the best health at any age. For kids, this message is especially critical given the alarming rate of childhood obesity. According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 13 million children and adolescents in the U.S. are considered obese. Regular exercise can help kids maintain a healthy weight and avoid problems like diabetes and hypertension. It also promotes stronger muscles and bones, a better outlook and a chance to socialize with other kids outside of school.

According to R. J. Gurney, Children’s Program Manager, Edward-Elmhurst Health & Fitness Centers, many children start on the path to an active lifestyle by participating in one or more team sports. That’s also true of kids who enjoy other physical activities, such as skating, dancing or unstructured, but active play. However, some kids become couch potatoes during the offseason or once they tire of their favorite activity, and many other kids who have never been active would rather choose screen time or other less rigorous pursuits. “Parents need to take a role in getting kids

to a good base point if they want them to maintain an active lifestyle as adults,” says Gurney.

What can parents do? Gurney offers these tips: • Get moving as a family. Schedule fun, active family days – a trip to the beach or pool, or a bike ride or hike in the forest preserve or botanical gardens. Rack up some steps checking out area museums and other sites. • Nurture the passion. If your child seems especially excited about a particular sport or other activity, encourage them. This might be an activity that stays with them for life. But, be sure your child is exposed to a variety of activities that might also spark their interest. One might become a second activity or a replacement for a sport in which they lose interest. • Involve friends. Kids will be more likely to stick with an activity if their friends are also involved. Talk with the parents of one of your children’s friends about options that might appeal to both kids. • Set the tone. Show your kids that you enjoy making fitness a part of your routine. Share with them what you like about running, working out, yoga classes or whatever your favorite activities may be. • Learn a new skill. Either individually or as a family, pick a new activity to try out. Archery? Kayaking? If anyone in the family can’t swim, take lessons. It’s a skill that’s potentially lifesaving and a lifetime source

Three things to consider during Breast Cancer Awareness Month

(SPM Wire) — Approximately 12 percent of women in the US will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month and is an ideal time to learn more about the disease. Here are some things to consider: • Screening improves the chances of early detection of breast cancer, when it is easier to treat. Follow the ACS’s guidelines for detection. Their recommendations include that women age 40 and older have a mammogram annually, and that women in their 20s and 30s have a clinical breast exam during their regular health exam -- preferably every three years. • Healthy lifestyle choices can help reduce one’s risk for developing breast cancer: eat a healthful diet, get regular physical activity and reduce alcohol intake. • Volunteer and fundraising opportunities abound that support the fight against breast cancer. To learn more about how you can get involved, visit www.Cancer.org.

State Senator pushes for changes at V.A. for veterans Illinois is home to more than 720,000 veterans, every one of whom is owed a debt from a grateful nation. That’s why the VA scandal last year was such a black eye for our federal government, and such a wake-up call to the substandard treatment many of our veterans receive. As the Senator for Illinois’s 24th District, I represent thousands of veterans who depend on the services of our state’s VA hospitals, outpatient clinics, and Vet centers. That’s why today I’m urging the Veterans’ Health Administration to consider adopting a change to give full-practice authority to nearly 6,000 Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) already working in VHA facilities. We already trust APRNs with similar authority in combat situations and in the treatment of

active-duty military. Making this change would go a long way in helping to address waiting times and availability of service at VHA facilities. The demand for medical treatment is already high, and it’s going to keep getting worse if we don’t do anything. Of Illinois’s 720,000 veterans, more than half are already above the age of 60. In fact, the two largest populations of veterans in Illinois are between the ages of 65 and 69, and between 70 and 74. On top of that, the jobless rate for veterans in Illinois is well above the national average, and only four states have a higher number of unemployed veterans than we do. The demand is there, and it’s going to keep growing. In order for us to fulfill that debt we owe to our vets, we need to improve our services and make the changes that need to be made, not just put them off until the next scandal hits.

Tips to Keep Kids Healthy and Safe This School Year to counsel patients and parents on emotional and social issues, as well as issues that often crop up during adolescence, such as smoking, drugs, drinking, sexual activity and depression. “Many first time parents may not realize they can ask a pediatrician about anything related to the care of their child -- medical or not,” says Consider Sports Sports are a great way to foster confidence, cooperation, and healthy habits. Encourage your child to try out for a team, sign up for a recreational league or get a regular pick-up game started on weekends. Keep in mind certain health

considerations, such as proper nutrition and hydration, injury prevention, exercise programs and healthy attitudes surrounding sports. Schedule a sports physical with your pediatrician to discuss your child’s overall health and how to prevent injuries. Talk Safety If your child walks to school, teach him safety rules like looking both ways. If possible, have your child commute with an older sibling or neighbor. If your child rides a bike or skateboard to school, be sure he wears a helmet. Review basic rules for safer riding. Bus riders should also be mindful of safety rules, like remaining in one’s seat and

(StatePoint) — As a parent, you can help kids stay strong, healthy and safe while at school by putting wellness front and center, say experts. “There is no doubt that school is a nurturing place for your child to learn, grow and make friends,” says Dr. Sandra Hassink, MD, FAAP, President of the American Academy of Pediatrics. “But school also introduces certain health and safety risks.” With that in mind, Hassink recommends taking the following steps. Schedule a Pediatric Visit Be sure to put an annual pediatric exam on your family’s schedule. Before your visit, create a list of things you want to discuss with your child’s pediatrician to ensure you get all the information you need. This list should include ensuring your child is up-to-date on all vaccinations, which are a crucial part of preventive care. Consider building a medical history with a particular pediatrician by sticking with one doctor throughout childhood and adolescence. By doing so, the doctor will be better informed of your child’s medical history and will have a better chance of detecting emerging problems. Beyond medical testing, pediatricians are well-equipped

Business Briefs… By Cole Lauterbach Illinois News Network

Caterpillar announces plan to lay off more than 10,000 PEORIA — Peoria-based construction equipment manufacturer Caterpillar announced plans Thursday to lay off thousands in an effort to reduce costs and restructure. The total layoffs could reach over 10,000

State Treasurer wants student aid funding SPRINGFIELD — Illinois Treasurer Mike Frerichs is on a college town tour to urge lawmakers to pass legislation to fund the Monetary Assistance Program, or MAP grants. The financial aid helps pay for tuition and fees typically due before classes begin. Senate Bill 2043 would appropriate $373 million out of the General Revenue Fund. The treasurer told a crowd of students and college administrators at a news conference in Chicago that action needs to be taken on the issue sooner than later. He said in a news release it’s the same amount Governor Bruce Rauner initially proposed. A release by Governor Rauner’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Legislative Affairs Rich Goldberg said Rauner would likely veto the tuition assistance should it reach his desk. Goldberg said the legislation would simply pave the way for more debt or higher taxes. The Senate passed the bill along party lines in August.

State Gaming Board turns down western Chicago gambling cafes CHICAGO — Plans to refurbish an old strip mall into a string of small gambling outlets was turned down Tuesday. The Chicago Tribune reports the Illinois Gaming Board turned down the proposal to refurbish a half empty strip-mall in suburban Hometown into multiple outlet gaming mall. Gaming Board Chairman Donald Tracy said he views gaming malls as backdoor casinos without the traditional safeguards as licensed casinos. Illinois legalized video gambling in 2009. Even though they still bring controversy, they are seen as a reliable source of revenue to cash-strapped municipalities. Hometown Mayor Kevin Casey said the gaming malls could create up to 60 jobs, spawn spin-off business and entice new customers to existing businesses.

Map Coalition gathers 300,000 signatures for redistricting reform

SPRINGFIELD — The Independent Map Coalition announced last week they already have more than 300,000 signatures endorsing the plan to place an amendment on the 2016 ballot. The non-partisan group only needs a little over 290,000 per the Illinois Constitution, but they want to make sure the initiative will survive challenges. The well-funded group’s goal is to amend the state constitution to include a non-partisan independent commission responsible for drawing state legislative districts. The Coalition got a boost from the Illinois Farm Bureau last month when it made it’s 95 statewide offices collection points for signatures. A Cook County Judge threw out a previous effort to add a redistricting amendment to the ballot in 2014 after hearing arguments from attorney Mike Casper, a long-time ally of House Speaker Michael Madigan. Whether this initiative will meet a similar fate remains to seen.

House Committee hears proposal for Chicago Property tax relief

CHICAGO — The House Revenue and Finance Committee looked into the details of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s effort to ease the shock of the largest property tax increase the Second City has ever seen. Chicago Deputy Mayor Steve Koch told the committee the city needs to protect the citizens looking to save up for their retirements and focus on revenue from the business district. While the deputy mayor didn’t have a proposal to present the committee, he said the goal was to increase the property tax exemption from $7,000 per home to around $15,000 per home valued under $250,000. He expects 1 of every 4 dollars in new property tax revenue comes from business district. Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce Vice President Michael Reever said businesses are getting hit from all sides. The new property tax increase voted into effect is almost entirely aimed at paying for the city’s police and fire pension deficit.
